NEW YORK, NY (April 23, 2018) – JOHNNYSWIM, Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors and Penny & Sparrow are pleased to announce The Goodbye Road Tour presented by SiriusXM Coffee House, a limited run of live dates supporting their new collaborative EP, Goodbye Road, due out May 4th! Kicking off on June 28th at Little Rock, AR’s Robinson Center, the three artists will bring an evening of music through much of the southeast before wrapping in Orlando, FL on July 12th. Full dates are below and presales begin tomorrow, April 24th with general public on-sale begins this Friday, April 27th. For tickets & more information, please visit www.goodbyeroad.com.

Earlier this month, JOHNNYSWIM and Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors released “Ring the Bells,” the first single off of Goodbye Road. The single has streamed more than 425,000 times to date and upon release, hit #2 on iTunes' Singer/Songwriters chart and entered the US Viral Chart at #26 on Spotify after it was featured on New Music Friday. It was also selected by Rolling Stone as one of the “10 Best Country and Americana Songs of the Week” – who wrote, “…this acoustic anthem mixes pop, gospel and folk into the same lively package…it’s a bright song for darker times.”

Goodbye Road was written and recorded in the wake of an emotionally-charged year that included the racial assaults in Charlottesville, the heartbreaking attack upon an audience of music fans at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, and the loss of rock & roll icon Tom Petty. Rooted in a mix of acoustic guitars, classic songwriting, upright pianos, ringing reverb, and stacked harmonies, Goodbye Road is an album about endings and new beginnings.

The Goodbye Road Tour brings to life the EP’s messages of hope and resilience in the face of adversity and loss. All three artists have built their careers on the road, where their best qualities shine the brightest: Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors’ timeless storytelling through song, Penny & Sparrow’s rich, immersive harmonies, and JOHNNYSWIM’s rousing Americana and electrifying chemistry. Through a very limited run of dates, fans will delight in a musical journey mapped through each act’s artistic lens, creating a rare experience they’re sure to hold onto for years to come.

Goodbye Road is due out on May 4th, and The Goodbye Road tour kicks off this June. For the most up to date information or to buy music or tickets please visit www.goodbyeroad.com.
